Pretty excellent!

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2013)

I didn't have any expectations going into this and also didn't have much knowledge about it aside from Del Toro being the director. In a short description- it was excellent! A ton of fun, great characters, amazing visual effects, a story that doesn't fall under clichés. That's basically it in a nutshell, and the actual story stands-out from all of these seemingly formulaic and predictable blockbusters. I was hesitant about Charlie Hunman (although I remember him from Undeclared, much skinnier back then though) but he was a pretty great leading man and I have high hopes for his future. Del Toro nailed it with this, and hope he continues to give us more mainstream-fare.
